Most Advanced Physical Layer Measurement Solutions
Physical layer options provide precise measurements for video signals
|
The WVR8300 high-performance waveform rasterizers offer the most
comprehensive physical layer signal measurements for engineers. When
equipped with Option 3G and relevant physical layer options for each
model, the WVR8300 and WVR8200 can perform 3G-SDI eye pattern display,
jitter measurements, and cable length measurements (Option PHY for
WVR8300). Options PHY and EYE provide unique capabilities such as
reporting jitter levels above 1 UI and providing various jitter filters
from 10 Hz to 100 kHz for SD/HD/3G-SDI signals. An easy-to-interpret
gauge provides direct readout for jitter measurements. Users can
configure timing jitter and alignment jitter readouts to be displayed
simultaneously to effectively isolate the sources of jitter. The SDI
Status display summarizes key signal parameters such as signal strength,
cable loss, and estimated cable length measurements.
With FlexVu,
users can simultaneously display timing jitter and alignment jitter
values, cable parameter measurements, and display different eye patterns
to help quickly diagnose and resolve problems related to SDI timing
jitter or cable attenuation. The infinite persistence mode of the
waveform rasterizer can also be used to more easily view the eye opening
of the physical layer signal.
In addition, the WVR8300 (with
Option PHY) can also perform automated eye amplitude, automated
rise/fall time, automated overshoot/undershoot measurements, and provide
jitter waveform display to view jitter related to line and field rates.
All these capabilities help broadcasters and network operators detect
and diagnose signal quality problems quickly and efficiently. WVR8300
with Option PHY also includes multi-rate HD/SD-SDI and 3G-SDI (with Option 3G) color bar and
pathological signal generation capabilities to provide engineers with a
simple signal source for quick signal path verification during system
and/or equipment setup and troubleshooting.

Superior Data Analysis Capabilities for Engineers and Operators
ANC Data Inspector & CaptureVu provide detailed content analysis |
The new ANC Data Inspector (standard on WVR8300) provides an
industry-leading solution to help broadcasters easily and accurately
ensure that all required VANC data is present and correctly configured
through an intuitive ANC data display.
In contrast to other
solutions, the ANC Data Inspector enables operators to easily and
quickly ensure that the VANC data is present and free of errors. When
errors are detected, engineers are quickly guided to a more detailed
view of the data packet content for further analysis.
With FlexVu,
each picture display tile can display different CEA708/608 Closed
Caption and individual Teletext subtitles. Teletext subtitle pages can
be decoded in either WST or OP47 format.
The Auxiliary Data
Status display (standard on both the WVR8300 and WVR8200) provides
summary information on Active Format Description (AFD) per SMPTE 2016,
Video Index Aspect Ratio, Wide Screen Signaling (WSS), V-Chip, TSID,
CGMS-A, Broadcast Flag, CEA708/608 Closed Caption,
Monitoring of Ancillary data (Closed Caption, Time Code, & AFD) using Aux Data Status |
Teletext, and Time Code information.
Today there is a wide array of metadata that
provides information to a variety of equipment through the processing
chain. Monitoring of this metadata is critical to ensure that the
processing equipment correctly handles the signal. For instance, correct
format of the AFD ensures that the aspect ratio on the display is
correctly formatted and the automated AFD graticule is available for the
picture display of the WVR8300 and WVR8200 along with the binary data
and text description for easy monitoring.
With Option DPE, the
WVR8300 and WVR8200 can also monitor Dolby metadata embedded in the
Vertical Ancillary (VANC) data space per SMPTE 2020. |
|
|
Datalist display provides detailed pixel-by-pixel information |
The Datalist display,
available as standard on the WVR8300, provides detailed information on
the actual data values in HD/SD-SDI and 3G-SDI (with Option 3G) input
signals. Users can easily use this display to locate protocol errors in
the input signals.
The right side of the display shows the data
values in hexadecimal, decimal, or binary format and uses the following
color coding for easy identification of data types and errors:
- Green – Active video data
- Blue – Data in horizontal or vertical blanking intervals
- White – EAV, SAV, and other reserved words
- Yellow – Data outside nominally allowed values
- Red – Data with illegal values
The left side of display shows un-interpolated digital values plotted
against sample numbers as a digital waveform. You can configure this
unique display in either video mode or data mode. In video mode, the
display shows the Y, Cb, Cr values aligned temporally, but offset
vertically. Like the waveform display, you can configure the display to
show 1, 2, or all 3 components. |

Simultaneous display, virtually two instruments in one |
Full-featured Simultaneous Input Monitoring Boost Versatility
The Simultaneous Input Monitoring (SIM) capability of the WVR8300
takes multi-format monitoring to a new level. This capability helps
operational staff quickly determine if a video quality problem existed
in the input signal or arose in their facility. It enables engineering
staffs to quickly detect, diagnose, and resolve technical problems
introduced in a piece of video equipment by comparing the input and
output signals at each point in the chain. This feature is also
especially helpful when checking for transparency during format
conversion.
FlexVu enables flexible and intuitive configuration
of displays from two monitored inputs. User can display simultaneous
fault detection, status reporting, alarm generation, and error logging.
SIM is ideal for transmission monitoring of simultaneous HD and SD
programs. It is also ideal for monitoring stereoscopic 3D content in
production and post production applications by simultaneously monitoring
the left eye signal and the right eye signal.
The patented
Tektronix Timing display can be used for each source to time each input
relative to the reference or measure the timing between each input.
Audio and video signals can be displayed independently for each input.
See and Solve displays detect & address problems quickly and efficiently |
See and Solve with Tektronix Displays
Tektronix See and Solve displays simplify video monitoring tasks such as
calibration, error detection, and content correction allowing users to
detect errors at a glance and troubleshoot them efficiently. Specialized
session and status displays provide summarized yet comprehensive reports
of conditions and measurements of content parameters.
The Black and Frozen frame detection can be used to alert the operator to a
problem in the transmission chain. These and other errors can
automatically be logged in the Error Log and provided as a report. The
powerful Error Log is configurable and provides detailed reports for up
to 10,000 events that can be downloaded using a web browser. Alarms can
also activate ground closures and SNMP traps simplifying centralized
monitoring of multiple programs. |

FlexVu – The display that adapts to your work practices |
The FlexVu four-tile display provides maximum flexibility to
increase your productivity. Unlike instruments with predetermined view
combinations or limited choices, FlexVu™ lets you create a multi-view
display tailored to your specific needs and work practices. Each tile
can be configured to enable easy signal analysis such as multiple alarm
and status screens, different Safe Area Graticules and cursors on each
tile, and more.
Tektronix displays offer the sharpest CRT-like
trace quality for clear waveform and vector monitoring without
pixelation distortions. The familiar video waveform display can show
SD/HD/3G-SDI signals in RGB, YPbPr, YRGB, or composite formats. Signal
components can be displayed in either parade or overlay mode. For
composite analog video, NTSC and PAL signals can be displayed with luma,
chroma, and luma+chroma filtering. The vector display offers
user-selectable graticules, color targets (75% or 100%), and color axis.
The Tektronix-patented Diamond, Split Diamond, and Arrowhead gamut
displays simplify the process of verifying gamut compliance. The Diamond
and Split Diamond displays help easily identify and correct RGB gamut
errors in digital video signals. The Arrowhead display saves time in
verifying composite gamut compliance for digital video signals.
User-selectable gamut thresholds let you tailor these displays and the
associated gamut alarms to your particular compliance standards. You can
also select bright-up conditions to see the location of gamut errors on
the picture display.
The WVR8300 also features new optional
advanced color gamut monitoring capabilities including the
Tektronix-patented Luma Qualified Vector (LQV™) display and Spearhead
display which, when used in conjunction with Tektronix proprietary
Diamond and Split Diamond gamut displays, provide the most comprehensive
color gamut monitoring tools available for precise color gamut
adjustments (Option PROD).
The picture display can simultaneously
detect and decode CEA708/608 Closed Caption. Teletext subtitle pages can
also be decoded in either 625 formats or using OP47 Ancillary data.
Flexible Safe Area Graticules allow for quick placement of graphics,
titles, or logos. Using FlexVu, users can see two or more pictures with
different graticules.
The CaptureVu feature on the WVR8300 allows
users to capture, store, and download the data of a video frame to
recreate displays and compare the live signal to captured data for easy
troubleshooting of intermittent errors or for analyzing fault conditions
at remote sites. |

Complete Monitoring Tool Set for Optimum Sound Quality
The WVR8300 provides high-quality digital filtering and oversampling to
insure precise, reliable, and repeatable audio measurements. For easy
monitoring, the WVR audio options provide format auto-detection and
flexible mapping of audio inputs to analog or digital audio outputs for
connection to external devices.
Surround Sound, Dolby Metadata, Audio Session, and Channel Status |
The Surround Sound display, the
most comprehensive waveform rasterizer audio analyzer
available, provides intuitive graphical representation of channel
interaction in a system. The Bars display provides indicators for
faults, audio levels, and Dolby format information. The flexible
Lissajous display allows the selection of any two audio channels.
Specialized audio displays provide deeper inspection of the signal.
The audio session displays summarize levels, faults, and number of
active bits for each channel. The user can select from three loudness
filters; Flat, A-weighted, and RLB-weighted (BS.1770). These instruments
also feature Audio Control Packet Data and Channel Status displays.
The Dolby Status display (in Option DPE) gives an in-depth view of
integrated or VANC metadata and Dolby E Guard Band timing and
synchronization.
User-configurable thresholds for the Dolby E
Guard Band timing measurement (in Option DPE) are available as well as
Dolby E Guard Band timing and trigger alarms based on their specific
guard band parameters.
Facility Timing Made Easy
Timing and Lightning displays simplify timing tasks
|
Audio/Video synchronization is an important challenge in the processing
of video materials. The WVR8300 displays the A/V delay on a graphical
bar indicator. The measurement readout gives facility engineers the
necessary tools to ensure system integrity and facilitate A/V delay
compliance. This feature provides out-of-service measurement of A/V
delay for analog or digital audio and video formats. A TG700 is required
to generate the SDI signal which contains the audio and video sequence
that can be distributed through the system and measured by the WVR8300.
The Tektronix-patented Timing display makes facility timing easy
though a simple graphical representation which shows the relative timing
of the input signal and the reference signal (or a saved offset
reference) on an X-Y axis.
The Lightning display shows luma and
chroma amplitudes and helps users verify component timing using a color
bar header signal. The Tektronix-patented Bowtie display (standard the
WVR8300) complements the timing measurement capability of the Lightning
display. Using a special Bowtie test signal in component format, this
display helps make precise and accurate measurements of inter-channel
amplitude and timing. The SCH Phase display helps quickly verify this
critical timing parameter of composite analog video signals.
